    Take a deep breath folks.
    It's only 2 games.

    And Baez isn't going anywhere.

    How many has he blown in 2 seasons? I've never liked the guy. Chapman or miller would be a huge upgrade.
    4 in 2014 - 2nd best in MLB (Street, 3)
    4 in 2015 - 2nd best in MLB (Chapman, Rosenthal, 3)
    Ok. Now how many 1,2,3 innings did he have?
    will myself to find a home, a home within myself
    we will find a way, we will find our place

    True. I've just been tired of the drama in every save situation since Kerry wood was the closer.

    Hate the drama, but Rondon isn't a power pitcher. He needs to be crafty to get the same results as a Chapman would. Even Chapman gave up back-to-back jacks yesterday. I'm in on Miller. Chapman, not so much. And I'm worried that the stuff with Rizzo isn't completely squashed.

    Yeah. The plays that kid made yesterday..... Wow. He takes hard plays and makes them look easy. Easily a starter at SS for nearly every team in baseball, yet he's got unreal defensive versatility.

    Apparently we picked up Brian Matusz. Pretty soon we're going to have the entire O's pitching staff from 4 years ago.

    Sucks but means Almora gets more playing time and looks and Contreras possibly too. I also like Edwards called up to the pen that needs a new arm. Richard needs to go!!
